ties of the State, and west of the range it
gives the first railroad to country larger
than some of the States of the Atlantic
coast. When completed this road will run
through Mendocino, Humboldt and Del
Norte counties in California. and north
through Oregon TO the mouth of the Co.
lumbia river. Mendocino. Humboldt and
Del Norte counties have great resources.
They have rich agricultural soils, fine
grazing, and almost unequaled redwood
forests. The future wealth of these three
counties, when its development is stimu-
lated by steam transportation, cannot be
estimated. Its carrying trade will tax the
capacity of this road to its utmost. The
wool, wine, redwood, lumber, minerals,
fruit and vegetables will come to the main
line at Willows.
THE REDWOOD LUMBER
Used all over the northern part Of the
State, country larger than New York
and Pennsylvania, will have its depot at
Willows. This lumber has an universal
demand as far East as the Missouri river,
a country of an immense extent now
rapidly settling and developing. Twenty
five miles of this road are graded and the
steel will be laid as soon as il can arrive
from the East. Before the home-seeker
can arrive the cars will be running through
a succession of the most beautiful and fer
tile valleys, where land is now very
cheap.

length, and carries an immense volume of
water during the year In the lower foot
hills there are twenty streams which
drain great section of country. In the
hills, mountains and valleys there are
INNUMERABLE SPRINGS
Bursting forth from the surface, which
supply water for domestic purposes and for
stock. Fine well water is obtained in all
localities at depths from ten to forty feet.
The well water of this section is unex-
celled, and is one of the features which
commends it to the newcomer. In the
mountains and foothills there are canyons
and gorges which are almost natural reser-
voirs, and which with small cost can be
made to retain millions Of gallons of
water. A cheap system Of bitches would
bring this running water to every door of
this region. Stony creek has rapid fall,

to be taken up in this letter
"To close the matter briefly, | think
that there is sufficient reason to hope for
the existence of an artesian basin or
stratum under the west side of the Sacra-
mento valley, and not at great depth, to
justify trial in discovering it. But ad-
mitting this conclusion to be well founded,
it is yet a grave question in my mind
whether the water will rise to the surface
sufficiently high up towards the foothills
on the plains to afford the supply where
most needed.
"To be as definite as there are any
grounds for attempting to be, ] should say
that artesian water is more likely to be
found on Or about the locality of the range

and freight steamers. By this free water
route to the wharves and docks of San

to the great commercial world, freight

Compels cheap rail rates, and it viii con-
troll them SO long as the current of this

great California and Oregon line runs
through this section, giving 4 continuous

Francisco, and at Sacramento to the east

of Willows, there is rail communication
with large and rapidly-developing foot

WILLOWS AND VICINITY.
The Present Opportunities and Future
Outlook of this Section.

This description of Willows and the sur
rounding country is intended to guide
these people to cheap lands, where they
can have picturesque homes, embowered
in mulberry trees and orange groves en-
bankedAwith rare and fragrant flowers, and
surrounded by orchards and nurseries laden
with their rich and luscious fruits There
may be other spots of earth as rich and
attractive as this, but there are none richer
and more attractive.
THE HoNIE-sEEKER' OPPORTUNITY.
The Pacific slope is the brightest terri
torlai gem of the continent 1t is an en-
pre- IN extent and natural resources. 1t
has every element that makes wealth. that
sustains dense population. that builds
vast manufactures, that stimulates trade.
and that creates far-reaching commerce.
1t has rich soils, immense forests. inex
haustible deposits of the royal and useful
metals, vast water system, and an incom-
parable climate. Its geographical loca-
tion is most favorable. 1t occupies semi
tropic zone. From its mountain slopes it
looks down upon the great peaceful ocean,
upon whose shores dwell more than one
third of the worlds population. The
heart of this favored region is Northern
California.
SOMETHING OF THE AREA
The area of the northern half of the
State IS 10000 square miles, or more than
57,0O0,O00 acres. II is larger than the
two great States of New York and Penn
sylvania, with population of 100000.
1t IS more than twelve time the size of
Massachusetts, which has 100000 people.
1t is one-half the size of France. that sun
ports population of 100000 with in
comparable industries. 1t is larger than
Italy, whose fertile plains were described
by Napoleon rs " the granary of the world"
1t location leaves nothing to be desired
1t lies in the south temperate zone, be-
tween the frozen north on the one hand
and the torrid south on the other. 1t has
more than 500 miles of coast line, with the
finest land-locked harbor in the world.
which, through its Golden Gate, gives free
water communication to the dense popn-
fations of Europe and the untold millions
of asia.
TIE SACRAMENTO RIVER.
The great river of the West, the Sa6ra-
mento, bisects this area. 1t has its source
In the extreme northern part of the State,
in the great mountain region, and passing
south (and receiving the waters of great
Number of tributaries from the east and
vest, pours then into the bay of San
Francisco. This river furnishes water
transportation to large and productive
area, and its valley IS of incompatible
beauty and fertility. II enraptured the

some point opposite Jacinto, south to a
point opposite Colusa, than elsewhere in
the valley. This line you observe follows
near the trough of the valley, taken as 4
whole. As we 90 east from il We soon en-
counter the range of hard land between
Narysyille Buttes, lying in the center of
the valley, and the point of mountains
near Oroville, underlying which, III the
plain, is probably connecting ridge which
determined the course of the Feather river
Ia the eastward Of the Buttes, so tha. it
did not take the shortest course to the
main drain in the bottom of the valley.
Because Of this probability, do no,
think this basin, il exists, extends more
than Il very short distance east of the river.
West of our axis Of the supposed basin, we
can so only about nine miles ere we en-
counter land too high to admit of the
water rising under the head we have sup
posed for it-from the neighborhood of
Stony ,roek. Coming southeast down the

soils make wonderfully rapid growths.
There are hundreds of plantations of the
red and blue gum-trees. Cottonwoods,
elms and naples around the homes of the
great ranches have grown to handsome
groves, which have been planted within
the past ten or fifteen years. The new set
tier can plant his trees and enjoy their
shade in five years, and in ten years they
will shade his buildings and yard Since
the settling of the country, the forest fires,
which formerly swept the valleys, hills
and mountains each year, have been pre-
